Following a wave of pay transparency laws in other states, the Massachusetts recently implemented a law requiring employers with at least 25 employees in the Commonwealth to disclose salary ranges in job postings. The law also requires employers with at least 100 employees in Massachusetts to report aggregate EEO on a yearly basis.
The law defines “pay range” to mean the salary or hourly range that the employer “reasonably and in good faith expects to pay” for the position at the time of the posting. It is worth noting that the laws does not require employers to include other forms of pay such as bonuses or commissions.
